At least the bread making machine is predictable. But you now have shitty bread, and a technician that has no knowledge of whether or not the bread is acceptable or not. Exactly like LLMs, we're throwing away the past and forget why it was this way.
- eru 2y agoGerman factory produced bread is better than most of the 'artisanal' stuff I can buy in Singapore (and most places around the world). So I wouldn't blame the machines for bad bread.
- fifilura 2y agoMy impression is that Asian bread culture in general is very different. (Where "different" may be an euphemism) But I don't really have the insights, so I'd love an introduction.
- eru 2y agoI just happen to live in Singapore at the moment. German supermarket (factory produced) bread is also better than most of what you can get in the UK. It's just that German consumers demand a certain level of quality in their sourdough, and the market is big enough for people to build machines to deliver that quality at a good price. Yes, bread here in Singapore is a bit sad. (But we got lots of other great food options to make up for that.)
